My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 49: A Rare Opportunity

He Zhenghao was puzzled and didn't understand why Li Fan had such a reaction.

Fortunately, He Zhenghao didn't dwell on it and looked at Li Fan with a smiling face, saying, "There's no need to be nervous. I just wanted to ask if my young friend is interested in guarding an island?"

"Of course, not this Liuli Island, but the Taian Island to the west of Liuli Island."

"The guardian of Taian Island has a good relationship with me. Currently, he is facing a bottleneck in his cultivation and wants to go out to seek opportunities."

"However, due to his responsibilities, he can't leave on his own. So he asked me if I knew anyone suitable to recommend."

"It's a coincidence that I met you."

He Zhenghao explained.

"To guard an island, at least Foundation Establishment cultivation is needed, right? I've just entered the Qi Condensation stage. Can I really take up this guardian position?" Li Fan asked, somewhat surprised.

In the Cong Yun Sea archipelago, as long as there's a certain valuable specialty product nearby, there will be cultivators guarding it.

The guardianship can range from ten to a hundred years.

Because one has to stay on the island all the time and cannot easily leave, the restrictions are significant, so the rewards are substantial.

Depending on the size and scale of the island, the annual contribution points one can receive range from a few hundred to over a thousand.

Therefore, the job of guarding an island is indeed quite attractive, and it's impossible to do it without certain connections.

Moreover, the guardianship of those rich islands is even more so. Often, they are arranged in advance long before the previous guardian leaves.

"It's not a formal guardian position. It's just that my friend has issued a targeted commission for you to temporarily take over the guardian role for him on Taian Island. Moreover, Taian Island is not a large island, and with the guardian array, a Qi Condensation cultivator is sufficient to take care of it for a while. You don't have to worry, young friend."

"And as the referrer, I will naturally receive a certain reward," He Zhenghao explained warmly to Li Fan.

"During the temporary guardianship, how long can I leave at most?" Li Fan asked again.

"The guardian array generally operates every five days. If you have to leave for something, it's best to return within five days. It's not advisable to leave more than three times within a year."

Thinking Li Fan was worried about delaying his cultivation, He Zhenghao added, "After receiving your contribution points each year, you can exchange for five days of assisted cultivation time in the Tianxuan Mirror. These five days often can be equivalent to half a year of ordinary hard cultivation."

Li Fan knew this was a good thing and agreed immediately.

"But I still have to wait until I return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island and complete the task," Li Fan said.

"Naturally. Young friend, you go first. When things are ready on Taian Island in a few days, I'll go to the island to find you."

Afterward, Li Fan bid farewell to He Zhenghao and returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

He didn't need to go to the pharmacy; he just needed to hand over the Liuli Beads in the Tianxuan Mirror.

After a while, the pharmacy received the twenty-three Liuli Beads.

Because the quality of these Liuli Beads varied, Li Fan received a reward of 21 contribution points.

Current total contribution points: 26.

"It's too little, only enough for two days of cultivation," Li Fan shook his head.

Taking out the gold and silver from the storage ring, as well as the Stone Tablet of Prohibition, Li Fan requested an exchange of contribution points.

After a moment, the Tianxuan Mirror provided the results.

"Batch of gold and silver: convertible to 235 contribution points."

"Heavenly Treasure: Stone Tablet of Prohibition. Quality: Flawed. Convertible to 1968 contribution points."

Li Fan opened the Tianxuan Mirror's exchange menu and looked for heavenly treasures.

He found that an undamaged heavenly treasure would require at least 4,000 points.

The recycling price provided by the Tianxuan Mirror was directly halved.

It was too much!

Although it had some flaws, it shouldn't directly reduce the price by half.

Li Fan's face twitched, but after thinking about it, he chose to exchange it.

The Tianxuan Mirror didn't provide anonymous trading. To trade with other cultivators, you had to reveal your true identity.

But if a cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage like him took out this foundational treasure without thinking, it would surely attract a lot of attention.

It might bring unnecessary trouble.

Li Fan twitched his face, but when he thought about it, he chose to exchange it directly with the Tianxuan Mirror.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was vast, and there were countless cultivators who had encountered opportunities.

Li Fan, a Qi Condensation cultivator, possessing a heavenly treasure might be extremely rare in the Cong Yun Sea, but in the entire cultivation world, it wasn't such a big deal.

"Confirm exchange."

The gold, silver, and Stone Tablet of Prohibition slowly disappeared, and Li Fan's contribution points reached 2229.

Having suddenly become rich, Li Fan didn't immediately choose to spend extravagantly. Instead, he first consulted the Tianxuan Mirror about his concerns.

"Will there be any disasters in the Cong Yun Sea area soon?"

Li Fan relayed all the various abnormal occurrences that Zhang Haobo had told him to the Tianxuan Mirror.

The Tianxuan Mirror fell into silence.

After a long time, it finally replied.

"Please don't worry, fellow cultivator. These are all normal celestial and terrestrial phenomena. According to the calculations, there won't be any major disasters within the next ten years."

Since the Tianxuan Mirror said so, Li Fan felt relieved.

Afterward, he thought for a moment and searched for information about the Liuli Pill.

The Liuli Pill was an auxiliary pill, commonly used from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

After consumption, one's mind would be as clear as a crystal, pure and transparent.

It could produce effects similar to "enlightenment," increasing the comprehension of techniques and the speed of cultivation.

Furthermore, the effects could stack with the Tianxuan Mirror's assisted cultivation.

The majority of the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals League were constantly traveling outside, accumulating contribution points, and cultivating time was precious.

Thus, the Liuli Pill, which could enhance cultivation efficiency, became even more precious.

The Liuli Pill was very popular among Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, and its price fluctuated between five and six contribution points per pill.

Li Fan checked and found that the current price was six points per pill.

"The near-extinction of Liuli Fish for unknown reasons will definitely drive up the price of Liuli Pills." Li Fan thought to himself. Therefore, he spent 2100 contribution points and purchased 350 Liuli Pills from the Tianxuan Mirror all at once.

Afterward, he reported to the Tianxuan Mirror about the near-disappearance of the Liuli fish population on Liuli Island.

The Tianxuan Mirror fell silent, emitting slight fluctuations.

After a while, Li Fan received a reward of 1 contribution point.

This was the Tianxuan Mirror confirming the authenticity of the information.

Yes, providing information to the Tianxuan Mirror could also earn contribution points.

The higher the value of the information, the more rewards one could receive.

Logically speaking, the value of the information Li Fan provided should be more than just 1 contribution point.

Perhaps the Tianxuan Mirror viewed Li Fan's hoarding behavior as somewhat unfavorable, so it only gave him 1 point as a reward.

Li Fan didn't mind.

His purpose had been achieved with this operation.

First, he confirmed that the Tianxuan Mirror was unaware of what happened after he left Ten Thousand Immortals Island. In other words, as long as he left Ten Thousand Immortals Island, he didn't need to worry about the Tianxuan Mirror's prying.

Second, he confirmed that the Tianxuan Mirror indeed had its own will. This was evident from only giving him 1 contribution point, showing its displeasure with Li Fan's behavior.

Third, naturally, it was to seize this opportunity to make a good profit.

The market's response was quite swift.

The price of Liuli Pills suddenly skyrocketed in a short time, surging from 6 points per pill to 9 points per pill.
